I'm in the postgame and I haven't even seen a Frigibax yet. Judging by the gaps in the dex, that, Rotom, and Gimmighoul (though I evolved & returned the one in the sidequest so at least it's registered) are the only normal mons I'm missing, assuming everything between the last mega rogue & the final boss are legendaries.

Since they appear to all be returning in future seasons, I might just wait for the last one. It only takes like 12 minutes but I still don't want to do it. If I miss out it's not like I was going to use it anyway so whatever.
